Welcome to the inaugural edition of IN Partnership targeted at Canadian business
IN Partnership is NSERC's new bi-monthly e-bulletin about public-private R&D partnerships that connect industry to the wellspring of knowledge and talent in Canada's colleges and universities. The e-bulletin is an integral part of NSERC's biggest and most visionary plan for industry. Our new Strategy for Partnerships and Innovation is an action plan to help more Canadian businesses prosper by connecting and collaborating with college and university researchers and students.
NSERC is one of Canada's top sources of grants for public-private R&D partnerships, with investments exceeding $310 million annually. IN Partnership will showcase the many ways that businesses prosper from this investment. It will also inform companies about new opportunities to participate in these collaborative R&D arrangements. To stay abreast of these and other industry-relevant developments, we encourage you to subscribe to this free e-bulletin by visiting www.NSERCpartnerships.ca. Please spread the word to friends and colleagues as well.
